Milwaukee Concrete Sidewalk Installation

Exceptional job. I have had neighbors ask "who did that"? I would hire them again!

Steve poured my driveway in early May. The city notified me in June that he never pulled a permit and did not follow city standards. When notified of this issue he vanished and has not made correct on the work he was paid for.

They offered prompt service, good pricing, and good communication. They got the job done in one day. I would use them again if needed.

Did a very good job overall. Would have been nice as an extra touch if they would have "landscaped" a bit under the concrete and timber edging (I will have to "stuff" dirt under some sections where the timber frame or concrete is "suspended" above the ground on some of the edges.

IT WENT GREAT, THIS WAS FOR A PATIO IN THE BACKYARD. I WAS TOLD LATER AROUND AUGUST. IT WAS DONE BEAUTIFULLY. I WOULD RECOMMEND BRUCE AGAIN.

We were able to arrange for the work to be done quickly. They arrived promptly and went right to work with no delay. Within 2 hours they were done, including clean-up afterwards. I am very happy with the results.

The work included breaking out, hauling away, and pouring concrete for the garage floor (to even out the floor), driveway sections, porch step, and walkway. Mr. Schmidt and his staff provided meticulous and efficient service.

I had four other contractors come and bid the job and DuQuaine came in with the most reasonable cost for the same work. They were local and were very responsive (I got the detailed proposal emailed to me within two days after Ed came out to look at the job) and seemed to know what they were talking about when they met with our general contractor. After some delays on our part and some delays on their part (due to weather and workload), we were put on the schedule and the crew came out and poured the footings for the garage. Luckily, our general contractor was there because they said the retaining wall that we had discussed with Ed was not on the job order. They poured the footings for it after I signed off on an additional PO for the work and materials and then came back and poured the walls. The crew seemed young and energetic (a little rough around the edges with language and attire) and worked hard to get everything done in a timely manner--to avoid incoming rain. Again, the general contractor worked with them on some specifics while they poured to make sure we got what we ordered. We then had to wait about a week for them to come back, take down the forms and pour the floor and create the stairs into the basement. They sent out a different crew to do this part of the job and the employees seemed a little older and more mature (they wore uniform shirts and were polite and professional). We are happy with the work they did and the cost was very reasonable compared to other contractors we had called. If we needed any other concrete work done, we would call them again.

Due to the urgent need to have the work done before winter, I went with another contractor. However I would like to say that I was impressed with the professionalism of Menarek's from initial phone call thourgh the providing of an estimate.

The owner Steve was great throughout the process. Met him at a Home Show in Spring 2015 and was one of the first contractors to provide a quote. After meeting with a few other contractors over the summer, Steve was one of the best on price and moved forward with the job in Fall 2015 that met my family's timeline. Overall the job went smoothly with minor hiccups. I was promised 2 days pending weather and the job was completed in 2 days. Steve wanted to make sure my wife and I liked the shape of the patio before pouring and we did make some last minute changes. With no questions asked, Steve made the changes and had his crew touch up on other areas before pouring like re-cutting a straighter line between the existing driveway and the new patio. The only negative is that my wife and I wanted a picture frame border with a broom finish on the patio. This was reiterated as they started pouring to ensure Steve and his crew knew exactly what we wanted and previously discussed. Unfortunately for us, we didn't get the picture frame finish as requested and discussed on multiple of times as Steve's crew completed the entire project with a broom finish. We are lucky that this finish matches what we already have for a driveway, but disappointing to not have what we wanted and thought we were getting. It's not the end of the world for us, but when you aren't going with a color or stamped concrete, we thought this finish would help with the aesthetics of the patio.
